if they went wr in the second round. i’d want kupp.
he’s not fast. 40 is not blazing, but his short shuttle and 3-cone times are outstanding. elite. and he’s got elite production. i read that he burned that outstanding washington secondary with baker, jones, and king.
thinking about it and thinking about it.
it’d be hard for this regime not to go offense with their first pick. they’ve invested so much already in giving goff the best possible chance of success. from coaching hires to free agency. but i don’t think there’s a center worth taking that early. maybe in the third round with a stopgap center to be signed in free agency.
i think it comes down to tight end because it fits need and this is a loaded class. it will most likely be engram if he’s available. if not then someone like bucky hodges. the advantage of guys like these is they could probably be lined up like wide receivers in certain instances. shoot i’ve read that hodges was used almost exclusively at wide receiver last season. huge red zone targets too for goff.
You know I buy into the idea that they can get 4 players who can contribute in rounds 2-4. It;s just a matter of who’s there and what they’re looking at–CB? Safety? Edge rusher? DE, maybe? TE? WR?
they can. i just worry that mcvay’s first inclination is to draft offense when this draft outside of tight end and running back, is so strong on defense.
in my opinion, he needs to have the whole team picture in mind and that means drafting defense. this team more than anything just needs strong starters. it isn’t one wide receiver away from contending. it needs talent at every single unit. so why not draft the strongest players.
i’m liking the moves so far on defense. wade’s got two of his former players now. veterans – one in the secondary and one in the front seven. both have played in wade’s defense. great character. great leadership abilities. can help the other guys learn the system. barwin’s a little older but could still have three good years left in him. he can rush the passer, but he’s also capable of dropping back a little. sounds like he could step in at lolb.
they still need a defensive back. they’re loaded this draft, so they could find one in the second round.
they could also use a defensive end. i still really like kpassagnon. he’s a beast. raw but an absolute beast.
tight end is the other possibility. they could use all three. have four picks in the first four rounds to do it.
this is developing nicely.

FROM SPOTRAC: Robert Woods signed a 5 year, $34,000,000 contract with the Los Angeles Rams, including $15,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $6,800,000. In 2017, Woods will earn a base salary of $3,000,000 and a roster bonus of $4,000,000. Woods has a cap hit of $7,000,000.
However, Woods deal is really a 1 year deal for 7 million. Another 8 million becomes guaranteed if he is on the roster on the 5th day of the 2018 season.
If Woods performs, the rams can keep him for 8 million next year and less than 7 million a year for the remaining length of his contract
If Woods stinks, the rams can cut him before the 5th day of 2018 season without taking any cap hit.
this is a good deal for the rams. low risk.
and with woods going from a run heavy offense to what is presumably a more sophisticated passing offense.
mcvay will find ways to optimize his talent.
and even then i expect them to add more skill position players.
